Bristlecone pines are ancient trees that can live for thousands of years. They have twisted trunks and grow in high mountain regions, standing tall and strong against harsh winds and cold weather.

Lebensraum: Mountain regions

Aussehen

The Bristlecone Pine has extremely gnarled and twisted branches, with reddish-brown bark that often appears deeply furrowed. Its short, dark green needles grow in bundles of five, and its distinctive purplish cones feature small, stiff bristles.
